Slow thinking

When you feel relaxed and everything is going well you can close the consultation and move onto the next. If things don’t feel right it may be your subconscious mind telling you to step back and think more carefully about what you might be missing.

Feels wrong

If it does not feel right stop and think. Take a few minute to consider what happened or make a physical note to remind you to review what took place and consider what might have been missed. What could you have done differently? Do you need to follow up and check?
